I don't have a RCL handy, but something tells me the little story in Exodus where Moses hides behind a rock and catches a glimpse of the Almighty's backside has probably been left out of the cycle of OT lessons.;-) That might be an interesting concept to weave into a sermon!

It was preached in my church.

"Truth did not come into the world naked, but it came in types and images. The world will not receive truth in any other way." Gospel of Philip, Logion 72

"Christ will regenerate all things; through Him all things will be purged, and return into eternal life. And when the Son shall deliver up the kingdom to the Father, all things will be God; that is, all things will still exist, but God will exist in them, and they will be full of Him." Fabius Manus Victorinus, c. 350 AD

i've always been fond of the following passage, and have never heard anyone preach on it---and neither have i even HEARD of anyone to ever even mention it:

John 11:9-11 (American Standard Version)

9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him."

To me, vs. 10 seems to hint that if a man DOES have the light in him, he CAN walk at night and not stumble...and certain mystics have written that on certain rare occasions, when the "beatific vision" is granted, all that is glows with a heavenly light, even at night.

"History records that the moneychangers have used every form of abuse, deceit, intrigue, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it's issuance."-- James Madison(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President

I don't know if it makes it into sermons or not, but the relationship between Lot and his daughters probably constitutes my favorite text of terror.
